Today on State of the News

WFPL Political Editor Phillip M. Bailey and News Director Gabe Bullard started out the hour with a look at the Metro stories they covered this week – from the Mayor’s proposed city budget to stolen art at the Speed Museum. We also heard from Business First reporters John Karman and Steve Ivey on business news, then spoke by phone with the C-J’s Jim Carroll about a certain KY Senator who made headlines this week for his involvement with the renewal of the Patriot Act.
